What’s this program about? Is it for IB?
It’s opened now - deadline is on the 21st Feb
is this for NY office only? or just the training plus rotation takes place in NY, and the actual placement can be in a different office in the U.S.?
Anyone hear back yet?
I responded to a survey for roles based in London. Survey was about basic stuff like notice period, relocation etc
The application deadline is today. Check out all the related job postings and the answers are in the JD
Did you receive survey link as part of the application? I completed the workday application but didn’t receive any link to the survey .
What is the JD?
Any Americans apply to the London program?
is this program also organized in London? I only found NYC postings
They had sales and trading & investment management open in London. It closed a couple days before the US program
Any ideas on when we hear back about next steps. I applied to 2 of the MSEPP programs in NYC. It said the program start date would be in June. I completed the hirevue that was linked in the job description.
Reading about MSEPP from other years, it sounds unorganized. Read about super days being in may even tho start date was June. Hoping it’s better organized now
I think the super days were in May last year because the applicants deadline was mid April and program starting in June. But this year deadline was in late February so I am wondering about the timeline lol. Also the hiring process application, hirevue interview, then super day if they are interested?
I applied to the London program a few weeks ago but have not received a survey. Anyone else in the same boat?
Same here . Applied for the London program and Didn’t receive any survey link .
Does that mean we didnt move forward if we havent recieved the link?
I’ve applied to the New York program and completed the HireVue that was embedded in the application. I haven’t heard back since but I saw the thread for the 2024 program timeline. It seems to varies based off the program you applied for.
Yeah, however, a few people already started to receive a survey. I think HR might have received a sufficient amount of people to start a pool
Anyone hear anything for NYC roles ?
Not yet
Still nothing. Application status still pending.
Did you get a confirmation once you completed the survey? I completed it but I didn’t receive an email confirmation of receipt
I didn’t
r
Did anyone applying to the NYC program receive a survey. I am wondering if the survey was only for the London location.
I haven’t received a survey yet
London applicants - anyone received anything after survey or are we all still waiting for next round?
Someone’s been sent a HireVue interview
I believe Hirevue's are part of the initial application process, was this person sent a second one? There was a hirevue in the job application post that I completed and I have not heard back yet.
Does this refer to the Hirevue in NY? Has anyone received a hirevue for London post survey or still waiting on next steps?
r
Nice for which division? Which 2 did you apply to?
Bump
Still nothing from my side but I also applied late
Has anyone heard back for next round of interviews?
Nope nothing
Just got invited to zoom with the IED
Has anyone received interview invite for GCM?
I’m still waiting on GCM US .. anyone else
Still waiting.
Has anyone received an interview for Research or IBD?
Has anyone from UK received any invite yet?
Only the hirevue. I don’t think anyone has heard about interview invites yet for London
Any get updates before the weekend ? GCM? IBD?
Located in NYC and I haven't heard back yet from research or GCM. My application is still marked as in progress. Has anyone heard back from these divisions or gotten any rejections yet?
Located in NYC. Still nothing back, applied to GCM
Wondering if they are going through one process and then the next incase people applied to multiple they see who takes offers in what department ?
Idk lol
I have no real insight, but given the state of the market they are probably doing just in time hiring. I would be more concerned by early may if nothing has moved, but my guess is as good as anyone's.
Yeah they’re definitely doing alright on timing,given that recruitment should conclude in April.
They sent out an email on Friday saying they would be giving an update in the coming days. So maybe this week?? (London)
Had 2 rounds with IBD. Wondering about the timeline for superday invites.
Could you share who round 1 and round 2 were with (ex. hr, team lead, division manager), time length of rounds and some of the questions they asked you. Also do you have a background in finance or years of relevant experience?
.
You had 2 rounds and no super day yet?
not sure what you’re calling rounds exactly. Submitting the application and the hirevue?
there were 2 rounds of interview after the hirevue for IBD
Wondering the same
Question for those who applied to NYC and successfully moved onto the next round after submitting the Hirevue: did you guys have a reference down in your application? Also during the hirevue did you guys speak the whole time without referring to notes on screen or side?
No reference and I just answered the hirevue like any other questions, just looked at the screen and spoke casually
What I think is, it’s really not HR picking the interviews - just the resumes- it’s desks that are hiring who choose from there …so if no desk cares about your resume you won’t get a convo so it kinda seems like the whole “experienced career” thing is more really just a lateral hiring with maybe a broader stroke of the brush
At least that’s how I interpreted it, from my first round
What’s your background?
Thank you for the insight this is super helpful!
No reference and no notes for the hirevue on my screen. Honestly, you can tell when someone is reading and it’s pretty frowned upon. You ultimately don’t have to speak for the amount of time they give you. Just answer the question and get your point across. Your answer can be 15 seconds as long as it’s beautifully worded/said.
Anybody hear back from GCM yet?
Anyone hear about GCM ?
They called me the other day for a first round, but I turned it down.
Was it a super day or first round ?
Given your experience and history, what made you apply to the program and reject a first round? Not to pry, but surprising.
Do you guys think if I didn’t hear back by now it’s probably over for me? Obviously want to be hopeful but don’t want to be delusional and unrealistic
I would say you never know but the best strategy is to keep applying to other roles.
What did you apply for?
Just rejected from research
Dam, London or NY?
Also received a rejection, located in NYC. I had a referral and finance background, some research experience. So idk.
Unfortunately, referrals don’t mean shit if it’s not a MD going directly to HR. How did you guys feel on your hirevue answers?
I was also received a rejection for NYC Research.
Also rejected from research. GSM and IB still say processing so prob get dings soon😪
Anyone who interviewed hear about a super day yet? More specifically IED…for a career switch program this seems oddly competitive or basically you need to have done it to get hired lol
I thinks career switch program of this magnitude is going to be extremely competitive regardless
Anyone in IED NYC have a second round of interviews or get any updates at all after the first round? Completed 2 zoom interviews and waiting to hear back
Was told they are circling up today or tomorrow to debrief the next round for selected candidates
Meaning that applicants will hear back today/tomorrow? Or more likely EOW?
London or NY?
Anyone get word ?
Anyone have an update? Been a week and a half since the first 2 Zooms, considering the program starts in June they should be getting back soon no?
Kind of depends on how many rounds they will have. If the next round after the 2 zoom interviews is the super day and nothing more after that, I can see them sending responses out until end of next week as well or even the week of April 20-26
What do you mean by first 2 zooms did you have a super day yet ?
It's been 2 weeks for me and no update as well regarding superday. Emailed for an update but no response so far
What divisions?
IED told me yesterday they have yet to debrief the next round for candidates - I.e anyone who did the 2 zoom calls with directors that will be moving on
This seems so messy what is the structure is it
Hirevue > zoom interview > superday?
Possible.
Still yet to hear back for NYC IBD. HR told me last week they are still reviewing applicants and my application still shows as in progress. Am I cooked?
No. Doubt all of us are cooked
Has anyone done a super day yet ? Maybe for capital markets?
Has anyone heard back from GCM, whether moving on to the next stage or getting a rejection?
Have you done any interviews yet. In cap markets ? If so what were they curios. Feel free to pm me
Has anyone emailed/heard anything today?
NYC GCM - Hirevue > Superday (today). Anyone in a similar position?
You had a super day?
Yes
I could be wrong but that sounds like more of a first round, nobody is doing a super day only without at least 4 people involved
Not sure. The scheduler said Superday in the email. I have no recruiter to provide more context.
@mfost7244
Check your private message
In the same boat. Applied for NYC IBD, did 2 rounds of zoom interviews (post-hirevue) and had a superday today. Superday consisted of 2 interviews with MDs.
What day did you interview originally & hear back for the super day?
Got the superday invite one week after my 2nd round
No there's been no superday yet
What are you talking about I just had mine today
Wait no superday but you got the offer
Anyone get anything back for IED after the first 2 calls?
I received notice of my super day via email this morning. Anyone else getting something similar? It is next Tuesday in the NYC office. Both nervous and excited.
For which role?
Which division?
Troll.
Does anyone who know how many positions or seats are available for each or any division within this program?
For those who have been through the process after the hirevue, how long are the two interviews (ex. 30 mins, 45 mins, 1hr) and how long is superday and what is the structure/ on the agenda for the day?
The round after the Hirevue was 2 calls, 30 min each. Have not heard anything on Superday.
Another week of anxiety gentleman and ladies
Anyone hear back today about IED? Sounds like invites have started going out
For what 3rd round ? Or2nd round ? Or initial interview after hirevue ?
The Round after 2 zoom calls
Where did you hear this? I heard from them Friday that this week they would debrief.
I got a next round invite
What part in IED are the 4 people in? Is it a mix or from one specific group? I haven't received an invite but just curious. I also haven't received a rejection so I still have hope lol.
You haven’t received any invite or for the second round of zooms? Idk what’s going on with this process - I was just asked to speak to more people but not sure if it’s even a superday or what
Any updates for IBD?
^
For those who interviewed do you even know your recruiter ?
Yes, but I had to reach out to the person who sent me first initial email. I think Ms hr consultant?
Any updates forGCM?
Anyone hearing anything?
Nothing still. Crazy it’s been almost a month for me.
Feel like we’re a few days out from people either posting they got offers or rejections coming out lol
Anyone hear ?
